“As many nurses leave the workforce, it has become Pivotal for Hospitals to Embrace Technology that Modernizes The Care Environment and Offers a more enriching workplace for clinicians and staff,” Jefff Fallon, Chairman and CEO of Vibe Health By Evideon, Told Healthcare it news in December.
When Grener Nurses are founded with downtime procedus coused by outages, cyberatcks and other events, they are vulnerable to dismemptops – for example, checking patient armbands, said allen.
“Schools aren’t Teaching How to Document on Paper Anymore, Neither Are Hospitals Nor Healthcare Systems,” He Said. “As a result, these new graduates are prepared for when the [EHR] Goes down. We’ve all Seen it. “
Experience that new graduates have in their first few years of nursing “is not the same that we have,” He said to a room full of nurse leaders Attending the global conference.
“They don’t have old nurses anymore. That old nurses quit during the covid [pandemic]”Allen said.

“We can coach them on it, and then they can re-reson what we’ve taught them and go back through, come up with a new formula, and find out what works,” Alleen Said.
